Text Editor with Highlighting

Hey there, I looked on the site for this but couldn't find anything about it. I'd like a list of your favorite text editors (preferable for Linux/XFree) with highlighting. I'm using beaver now, I tried cooledit but it's not me... too much functions and looks like it came from an old 386 :-). I have kde 2.1.2 which has kwrite, but it's kwrite does not yet support PHP, kde 2.2.1 does but i don't wanna download the entire kde package. Besides i think it's still in development I tried in on my laptop at home but it just makes things bold instead of all kinds of different colors. also beaver colors for in plain html and has some problems with correctly indentifying /* */ comments if you use more of em. i'm also interested in windows though and i think more people are interested so maybe somebody of the site might also want to keep track of the list so it can be put online regards
